Netscape Navigator 3.01
Netscape Navigator holds about 80 percent of the World Wide Web browser market, and the company isn�t letting go of any customer easily. Users keep biting at the Navigator bait, and they get hooked to the navigator speed, status, and cool plans.
The status bar at the bottom of the Netscape display can make a long wait seem painless. You can see the browser brain working and judge how long the page will take to download. If the status bar is creeping at a turtle�s pace, the impatient user will know to abort ship and jump on another link.
Netscape rocks all over the competition with speed. Images display quickly, but you don�t have to wait for them. You can jump links and read text before the browser even thinks about downloading images. Netscape has a great memory too. It remembers Web documents that you�ve visited, so you don�t need to reload a page when you�re jumping back and forth.
In future Navigator versions look for HTML style sheet support and a feature to automatically install plug-ins needed to see some Web pages.
Some additional Netscape 3.0 features include the following:
- HTML 3.2 Support
- Plug-Ins for Live Audio, QuickTime, LiveVideo, Live3D (VRML)
- Mail and Newsgroups
- Cool Talk (Internet Telephone)
- Java Support
- Netscape Extensions
